We would love to see a picture if you have the capability.

I always jump at the chance to show off my one and only. I saw this one at a knife show and walked away. I'll never regret going back 5 minutes later to buy it.

Thanks, cudgee. It’s a beast. I sharpened the blades on my Wicked Edge and used it a few times at work. Posting those pics makes me want to put it back in my pocket again.

That is one rugged looking folder Rick! ::tu:: I'm glad you were able to still get it after walking away, so often that's not the case! ::facepalm:: 8)

Thanks guys. I’m really hoping that the Original Poster can post a pic or two.

I’m just dying to see that knife.

I knew that, my friend. ::nod::

I like the Wicked Edge very much but I only use it for re-profiling. Touch ups are much more practical when done on a freehand stone which only takes me a couple minutes.

Here are a couple pics that I took after the Wicked Edge treatment. I like a nice wide bevel because it leaves plenty of room for several dozen touch ups before it needs re-profiled again. I highly recommend the Wicked Edge for anyone that has similar preferences.

Nice work. I like wide bevels on some of my knives depends on the knife. But another advantage of wide bevels is you can put much finer angles on them, i put a 13 degree angle on a cheap knife i have as an experiment, it's like a scalpel. Glad you like your Wicked Edge and good to see you still freehanding. Have a good weekend. :D

Those are sweet, I have a 6 pack kicking around here somewhere. Is Bob Cargill still around?
